Oh, but let’s put on our thinking caps! What is it they always say? “Won’t somebody think of the children?”
“That’s my secret, captain. I’m always thinking about children.”
…I’ll catch up with you there, save me a seat.


That’s hopeful, anyway. Wish more states were with it.


Ah but you see, when something is hot it makes closeted conservatives uncomfortable.
You see the problem? To a conservative, nothing is more illegal than making them personally uncomfortable. And nobody is more inherently conservative than a billionaire media mogul.


I guess nobody’s really interested in quibbling over which reforms are correct and desirable when it seems like, politically, none of them are on the table for the foreseeable future anyway. We’ll talk turkey after the Nuremberg trials, yeah?
But for what it’s worth, I take your point. It’s a hard sell during the decade everyone learned the word ‘gerontocracy’ all of a sudden, though. Sentiment is against the older generations, and not entirely without cause.


Change FPTP to a system that actually encourages people to vote for whom they prefer? Maybe in local elections, in a few places.
End gerrymandering with mathematically fair electoral maps? Courts will throw that out.
Fix campaign finance? Congress will repeal Citizens United only when all the billionaires are dead and there’s currently a gun to their heads. Absolutely not a second sooner.


One section per day, two sets.

Every dog I’ve ever had would do a little leggy kick thing whenever I’d scratch their tummy.


As a smart person who hates running I’m really struggling with this one


How am I supposed to look at a guy who would nuke a hurricane and think he has any mental lines in the sand that map onto reality as I know it? Of course he would stage a coup, he already did he already did.


Not exactly a stunning revelation, when it didn’t begin or middle that well either.


Why haven’t we suspended them years ago?
Edit: I guess every sensible country (and a few senseless ones) already have


That’s the real truth. Run like hell when luckless chumps show up looking all enthusiastic


Awoken at 4 will do that. I’m beyond coffee.
Sometimes I prefer a malaphor though (or possibly it’s malaprop when it’s a simile?)


That’s a high-voltage simile right there, goddamn
Edit: and yes, on my high end custom rig it goes like greased shit through a… Lightning… Pig?
Like, young at heart or young enough to trust a fart?
I have that instance blocked, so I guess we’re experiencing very different versions of Lemmy.
That was so unexpected that I misread it and made a joke about gen x. We seem that young to you?

I cannot think of any head of state who has a worse track record in terms of statecraft, vision, inspiration, or even pure accomplishment. Even if you flatten your moral judgment and only look to how skillfully even the evilest men in history achieved their aims, he’s plainly a negative outlier. His only signal achievement is in uniting the sentiment of the entire planet against the US.
